Question: Can I Get Sugar Gliders Neutered or Spayed?
Answer: Spaying female sugar gliders is a difficult and invasive procedure and is generally not recommended as an elective procedure (should be reserved for cases where medically necessary). However, neutering of males is a relatively simple and safe procedure and can be done as a birth control measure. Neutering will also reduce the marking behavior of males as well as making the scent glands less developed (therefore less musky odor), and in most cases will reduce territorial and aggressive behavior of males. However, nuetering should be done only by an experienced veterinarian using a safe anesthetic protocol.
